…2008, Kate Moss revealed that Frank Sinatra had an eye for the ladies right to the end. The supermodel spoke of meeting the legendary singer with her then-boyfriend, Johnny Depp, at the singer's 80th birthday party in 1995. "There was still a twinkle in his blue eyes. Yeah, major," said Moss. "I was sitting down having a cigarette, and he spotted me and made a beeline to me. He got all of his security to close in so Johnny couldn't get to me. So we were encircled and he's like, 'How are you doing, little lady?' and I said, 'Happy birthday, Frank,' and he just lunged for me. He kissed me on the lips, then gave me a filterless cigarette. I came off all lightheaded. He was fabulous."

I could never make you look smaller! No, we will make you look bigger, grander, bolder. We will make you look stupendous!"

…2003, Gwyneth Paltrow was left stranded after Valentino invited her to stay on his yacht off Majorca but then forgot to send anybody to collect her from the airport. "Gwyneth was totally on her own. She didn't have Chris [Martin, her then-boyfriend] or even a friend with her and didn't look at all happy there was no one to meet her at the airport in Majorca. She was there for at least 20 minutes with her mobile strapped to her ear, pacing up and down, until a flunky eventually arrived to whisk her away," said an airport source.
